Onsite or offsite – only the best fo the customer and the project
Basically developing services can be implemented at the customer's premises or in the usb office. Experience shows that in most cases a combination of both is the best way. For offline acitivities usb offers the customer a complete IT infrastructure which enables users to get involved in projects as well.

Bodyleasing or fixed price project
Because of its extensive and long-term project experience, usb is able to offer a wide range of flexible developing services. It starts with fixed priced projects based on requirements specifications and ends with the supply of temporary workers, where the customers can have usb staff at their disposal. If requested by the customer usb takes responsibility for an entire project or for predetermined parts of the project, including project management and coordination.
